A Note From The Authors!

Greetings, fellow explorers of the internet! Welcome to the new summer home of the Anti-Cliche and Mary-Sue Elimination Society! Doesn't look all shiney and new?

Actually, we're under construction right now, so please forgive our mess. Experimenting on how to best present our story takes time. As it is, we are currently under a working schedule of 1 update every 3 days, with 2 updates on the same day if one of them happens to be one of our few "Lost Episodes", until we catch up with our archives. After that, it'll be on an as-written basis. Any other notifications will also be put up as we go along.

On the off-chance that you have not already heard of us prior to finding this site, allow me to give a brief explanation of what goes on here.

The Anti-Cliche and Mary-Sue Elimination Society is a shared metafictional universe operated by thirty-some fledgeling writers in their teens and twenties. Originally a short series of crack/parody fanfics making fun of Mary-Sues in various fanfiction universes and written by a trio of British girls, the announcement that other writers were free to adopt their premise (and main antagonist) caused an explosion of popularity that spread the series far and wide. Over time, as the cast of characters grew, the series' genre shifted over from straight-up parody to a mix of humor, drama, and adventure. Installments are primarily episodic, although there is a strong overarching tale that connects each "season" - sometimes several at once! Story quality and writing style can vary from author to author, but each one is nonetheless a gem, guaranteed to bring a smile to your face.

Should you not wish to have to wait for new installments and prefer to archive binge, our original archives at fanfiction.net are located here. This and all other relevant links are also posted at the top of the page under Helpful Links.

Thanks for your time! We hope you love what we have to offer.

Now, without further ado, I bring you, our first entry.

Sincerely,
